Description: Position Yourself on the Ball: Lie on an exercise ball with the curvature of your lower back pressed against its surface. Keep your feet bent at the knees and firmly on the floor. Your upper torso should hang off the top of the ball. Arm Placement: Either keep your arms alongside your body or cross them over your chest. Avoid placing hands behind your head to prevent neck strain. Stretch and Start Position: Lower your torso into a stretched position, keeping your neck stationary. This is your starting position. Perform the Crunch: With hips stationary, flex your waist by contracting your abdominals. Curl your shoulders and trunk upward until you feel a contraction in your abs. Allow your arms to either slide up your legs or remain on your chest. Hold and Breathe: Exhale as you reach the top of the movement and hold the contraction for a second. Return to Start: Inhale and slowly return to the starting position, maintaining contact between your lower back and the ball. Repeat: Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions. Ensure control in each move to maximize effectiveness and reduce injury risk.
